Ethanol and Inhibitor Preparation

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Ethanol for injection (20% v/v) was prepared by diluting 95% ethanol in 0.9% saline. All ethanol drinking solutions (v/v) were prepared by diluting 95% ethanol (Pharmco Products Inc., Brookfield, CT, USA) with tap water. The MEK1/2 inhibitor SL327 and the p38 inhibitor SB239063 (Tocris Bioscience; Ellisville, MO, USA) were freshly suspended in 45% β-cyclodextrin on the morning of each drug testing day.

Biomass-Induced Cytokine Signaling in Lung Fibroblasts

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To investigate the possible signaling pathways activated by biomass and resulting in cytokine production in primary human lung fibroblasts, inhibitors of the PI3 kinase, ERK, JNK, SMAD, p38 MAP kinase, NFκB, and COX pathways were used. The signaling pathway inhibitors were used at the following concentrations which have been shown to be specific and effective in human airway cells [29 (link),30 (link),31 (link),32 (link),33 (link)]—L294002 (3 μM), PD98059 (10 μM), SP600125 (10 μM) (Chalbiochem, San Diego, CA, USA), SB431542 (10 μM), SB239063 (3 μM) (Tocris, Ellisville, MO, USA), BAY117085 (10−3 μM), and acetylsalicylic acid (0.1 μM) (Sigma-Aldrich).
Signaling inhibitors were added to primary human lung fibroblasts for one hour prior to biomass smoke stimulation. A vehicle control (0.06% DMSO) was also used. Supernatant was collected after 24 h.

Aortic Diameter Measurement in CaCl2-Induced Mice

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
In a separate CaCl2 model experiment, mice were further injected intraperitoneally with 1 mg/kg of SB239063 (a p38 inhibitor, Tocris bioscience), dissolved in 3% dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO, resolved with PBS) or vehicle only, at multiple time points, 1 h before CaCl2 application and thereafter daily for 6 week. At the indicated time intervals after the CaCl2 application, mice were sacrificed to measure the diameter of the aorta.

Kv2.1 Phosphorylation Signaling Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
Primary antibodies used in this study were from the following sources: mouse anti-Kv2.1 monoclonal antibody (clone K89/34) and rabbit anti-Kv2.1 antibody were obtained from NeuroMab (Davis, CA) and Alomone Lab (Jerusalem, Israel), respectively; mouse anti-phosphotyrosine monoclonal antibody (PY99) was from Santa Cruz (Dallas, TX), and mouse anti-GAPDH monoclonal antibody was from Novus (Littleton, CO). SB239063 was purchased from Tocris (Ellisville, MO). An affinity-purified rabbit phospho-specific antibody raised against Kv2.1 residue S800 was described previously [21 (link)]. Cell Extraction Buffer and NP40 Cell Lysis Buffer were from Invitrogen (Camarillo, CA). Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was from Jackson ImmunoResearch (West Grove, PA), and bicinchoninic acid (BCA) based protein assay reagents were from Thermo Scientific (Rockford, IL). Unless specified, all other chemicals used were of analytical grade quality or better and were from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO).

Cellular Responses to Replication Stress

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All treatments, including APH, HU, UV, ATRi, ATMi, p38i and CHK1i, were added into fresh ESC medium and the cells were kept at 37°C under 3% O2 tension overnight (16–17 hr) unless otherwise indicated. APH was used at concentrations ranging from 0.4 to 6 µM as indicated. Similarly, HU was used at 0.1 mM - 0.2 mM. ATMi (KU-55933) and ATRi (VE 822) were used at the concentrations of 10 µM and 1 µM respectively. The CHK1 inhibitors LY2603618 and UCN-01 were used at the concentrations of 200 nM and 100 nM, respectively. UV radiation exposure was performed at the dosage of 5 J/m2 or 10 J/m2. For induction of ETAA1-AAD expression, Dox was used at the concentration of 1 µg/mL for 48 hr. SB 203580 hydrochloride (Tocris Bioscience) and SB 239063 (Tocris Bioscience) were used at the concentration of 5 and 10 µM.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
